MY PURPOSE

to complete 

the assignment 

to be more true 
than posture
to light a signal candle 
to start new time
to feel dimension
to stay clean
to contact earthly love 
each day
to choose not who
but what –- what life?
to squeegee condensation
against calcified rot
to comb the tangles
and care for the comb 
to make enough 
to share
to stay stocked
to watch the birds 
swarm and separate
idle at a red light
and to feel the pulse 
that’s there 
when it changes  
green

  2. Yeah, I also really like caring for the comb. That feels so specific and important.
